The Dental Assistance for Seniors program is based on income and provides low- to moderate-income seniors with financial assistance for basic dental services that help maintain a reasonable level of dental health. You could be eligible for up to a maximum of $5,000 of coverage for eligible procedures every 5 years.

To be eligible for the Dental Assistance for Seniors program you must be 65 years of age or older and have an income level within the limits allowed by the program. You must have resided in Alberta at least three months immediately before applying. You must also be a Canadian citizen, or have been admitted into Canada for permanent residence (landed immigrant).

You only need to apply once for the Dental Assistance for Seniors program.

Alberta Seniors and Community Supports has contracted Alberta Blue Cross to administer dental claims, provide information regarding procedures, answer questions regarding claims and issue payments.

If you have applied for the Dental Assistance program and are dissatisfied with the decision made on your file, you can appeal the decision.
